A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Fuck Martha Stewart too
People don't realize that "insider trading" isn't fucking over a corporation, it's fucking over everyone that's invested and doesn't get the tip off.
People's retirement/pension and all types of other shit are tied up in random companies like this.
Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn't need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.
She's a psychopath.
Exactly this! Both her and Elon iare garbage humans!
And don’t get me started on Ophra. “Dr” Oz is where he is now because of her. She promoted so much pseudo science garbage in her show.
Him and Towlie! Stupid million little threads book
All my life, I've been a pretty irresponsible ~~towel~~ person.
This is a really good idea.

To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart's net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.
As far as I can see from the documentary she was getting on a plane to go on vacation and her broker called her and advised selling $40,000 worth of some stock and she said ok.
Nope:
Martha Stewart, the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, also became embroiled in the scandal after it emerged that her broker, Peter Bacanovic, tipped her off that ImClone was about to drop. In response, Stewart sold about $230,000 in ImClone shares on December 27, 2001, a day before the announcement of the FDA decision
That still seems like it's more on the broker than her
hat her broker, Peter Bacanovic, tipped her off that ImClone was about to drop
It's not one or the other.
If her broker said:
You need to sell
Then she wouldn't have broken any laws.
But he said he had insider knowledge that it would drop. And he really did have insider knowledge and it did....
Like, you realize she has literally the best lawyers can buy, is a rich and connected white person...
And she still went to jail. Why are you just insisting she's not guilty?
I never insisted on anything regarding her guilt. All I said was the provided excerpt doesn't really further the claim she was involved.
It's not at all uncommon for a financial advisor to call up a client and advise them to sell because they think a stock is going to drop. It's also not uncommon for them to frame things as a sure thing.
The comment I responded to didn't state that he told her why she should sell.
Idk, she should have known the minute she got the hot tip it was insider trading and just waited until the announcement to sell. She wouldnt have noticed the 40k.
Would rather make cupcakes with Martha Stewart that do anything with him.
Fuck Martha Stewart too
Obviously, that's the point.
It's like when someone says "oh Steve... that guy doesn't have the intelligence of a toaster"
Clearly Steve's an idiot, but you don't have to jump in and attack toasters, nobody's claiming toasters are geniuses here.
I prefer to embrace the thought that no matter how chronically online he is, his meme game will always be dogshit and his nerd cred largely nonexistent.
There are dried turds on the side of the road that are more respected or cool than Musk. The bar is in hell.
I'm a DV outeach worker and I've found abusive narcissists are never happy. They don't have realistic expectations so are constantly disappointed and don't accept when they're wrong so they don't improve their own lives. Constant misery.
I love that for Elon.
Yep! I comfort myself with it.
No matter how hard he tries he won't be respected or cool.
She could probably kick the shit out of him too (in real life or Path of Exile 2).
Elon will never be at peace because wherever he goes, there he is. What a miserable existence!
elon went on the most popular show about science and geekery and somehow came out looking like a dork (derogative)
Never liked her either, so not really moving him up or down much.
To paraphrase Al Franken, I like Martha Stewart more than others, and I hate Martha Stewart.
Also, fuck Elon.
Sleeping while in the shower? Nice.
He could try hooking up with Snoop Dogg. That would probably change my opinion somewhat (not that I’d expect Snoop to be into Nazis)

Got some bad news nephew...
Performing for the new nazis I guess you could just call him a sellout but his response was pretty weak
